HOMEMADE French Candy.


NOTHING gives children so much pleasure as
to make candy and nothing gives mothers
much more trouble than the old fashion stick
'candy pullings,'' so we propose to have the
children enjoy candy making that is attend
ed by no mess or trouble and one in which the
grown folks will also be Interested First pre-
pare your fruits and nuts; get hazel nuts, al
monds and English walnuts, the latter try and
open so as not to break them but haive neatly !;
the other nuts are easily gotten out whole.
For fruits, get dates and dried figs; open the
dates and remove the stones and open the figs;
when this is done and your nuts and fruit is
all placed on dishes convenient, you are ready
to make your candy. Take a pound of pull
verified sugar; if you live where you can get
what is called confectioner's sugar, it is better
but the other will answer put your sugar on
your biscuit board and roll and then sift; break
the white of an egg in goblet, put the exact
quantity of rich cream that the white of your
egg is, beat the white of your egg to stiff
froth then add the cream, then flavor with
vanilla, then add the sugar, slowly until it gets
stiff enough to put OH your board and work as
you would biscuit dough sprinkle little extra
sugar on the board to keep from sticking, then
roll out as thin as pie crust and cut in strips;
each person can then take strip and go to
work roll the almond in the paste, fill the
fruit and place thin piece between each wal
nut, placing them as you finish dishes or
sheets of white paper and set them in cool
place. Be careful not to mould the paste too
heavily around the smaller nuts. You
Gan still have a greater variety by having
oranges and white grapes; take each plug of
Che orange and cover only one-half, having the
other side show the yellow, cover each grape
lightly with the paste. Grated cocoanut
mixed with a little of the paste and formed in
to little eggs are nice. Small balls of paste
dipped in melted "bakers chocolate" will give
you delightful "cream chocolate" Thus you
will have variety of the incest candies and
will be astonished to see how far pound Of
each article will go, and the expense is not
half of what a pound of French candy"
would cost you. These candies can be used in
an hour after finished. We have given special
care to the recipes sent for Christmas; they
are all of the best; we have purposely left out
fruit cake and plum pudding, as every one has
q recipe for these, but have given only new
and tried recipes for the holidays.

rsr,ro the election receiyes

ensuing the election receives no
violence from this construction OF the
act Of April 4, 1887, and the seeming missing
link in the statutes, as to who shall notify the
director OF his election, Is supplied. The conn-
ty court, being superior court OF record, has
the power to cause the notification to be issued
served returned and preserved as record, to
the oud that the director may be held to strict
accountability in case ofhs failure to enter up
on the discharge of his duties within the time
limited by law.
am, therefore, of opinion that the school
director who is elected at the annual meeting
in May receives notification of his election
from the county court, after the ascertainment
by that court OF his election from the official
returns made by the judges Of the election,
which is done when said returns are opened by
the court at its session on the first Monday in
October; that said notification Is given IN
the same manner that other notices
from the county court are given; and that the
director must file his acceptance with his pre-
decessor at the time in office, and take and
subscribe his oath of office, and enter upon
the discharge of his duties, all within ten days
from the time he receives the notification, and
not before that time.

Ups ard Down. In Wall Street

An old gentleman whom New York

stocks Now, SO heavy have been his
losses that he would be satisfied if he pos.
sessed the sum he has paid out in COM

Mining Camp Humor.

One Of the best examples of humor al
the serious moment is the legend of min
ng camp. A party of prospectors came
on the body of man IN an out-of-the-way
place. They did not recognize him. He
was stranger. He had not been shot;
ne had not been killed by blow; he had
lot been attacked by wild animal; he
lad not fallen over precipice; he did not
ook as If starvation had killed him. They
were speculating on the cause Of death,
when they saw scrap of paper pinned
to his clothes. They took it of and with
some difficulty they deciphered this le-

A Decsived Dogs Revenge.

4 farmer having sold flock of sheep to
Il dealer, lent him his dog to drive them
home, distance of thirty miles, desiring
him to give the dog meal at his jour
ney's end and tell it to go home. The
drover found the dog so useful that he
resolved to keep it, and instead Of send
ing it back home locked it up. The collie
grew sulky and at last effected its es-
cape. Evidently deeming the drover had
no more right to retain the sheep than he
mad to detain itself, the honest creature
went into the field, collected all the sheep
that had belonged to his master, and to
that PERSONS intense astonishment drove
tue whole flock home again.

Blood VIII Tell.

tell-especially if it be an impure blood.
Blotches, eruptions, pimples and boils, are
all symptoms of an impure blood, due to the
improper action of the liver. When this
important organ fails to properly perform
its function of purifying and cleansing the
blood, impurities are carried to all parts of
the system, and the symptoms above re-
ferred to are merely evidences of the
struggle of Nature to throw off the poison
GUS germs. Unless her warning be needed
in time, serious results are certain to fol-

1t is very delightful TO find ones

homes of England" as we see them at
Wilton and Loneford Castle, are not
more admirable in their splendors
than "the blessed homes OF England"
in their modest beauty. Everywhere
one may see her old parsonages by
the side OF ivymantled churches, and
the comfortable mansions where
generations OF country squires have
lived in peace, while their sons have
gone forth to fight England's battles,
and carry her flags Of war and com.

Why France and Germany Hest

Lieutenant w. +. Blauvelt of the
Fifteenth Infantry Is now enjoying in
Europe an eight months leave of ab-

ent, "that q war between France and
Germany is imminent. ] think that
the two nations appreciate too fully
such q war means the utter unnihila-
tion OF one or tho other of them, and
they are not willing to take such q
fearful rlsk. Our interest in such q
way, aside from any commercial bene
fit, would be In seeing these new mill.
tary problems satisfact solved.
For instance, the Continental armies
favor the rapid-tiripg magazine rifle,
whereas the United States army has
adopted the Springfield model, which
fires only once. Our theory is that
every soldier must be taught to save
his ammunition, not to fire until he
aces a head, and when he fires, to kill.
Now, evidently, with the magazine
rifle no great accuracy is possible; the
men will fire away an immense
amount of ammunition in a very
tshort time, most of it will be wasted,
and then where Will you get any more?
You see, ammunition is not only cost
ly but 1t is very heavy, and the ques-
shots can you fire IL u minute, but
rather for how many minutes can you
keep your gun supplied with shot, and
how Gun you get the greatest effect with
the ammunition at your disposal?"

day ever knew Of" said Long John
Wentworth. ri was living on a farm
then-the Cooley farm, near where
kinsley's restaurant stands now. 1t
was so hot that we had to hang the

"Oh August 8, 1916" said Amos

about sunset went out to the barn
yard to see how the stock was getting
along. We had twelve fine hogs Just
ready for the market. Well when !
